Greetings,
I am considering purchasing an MSI PC54G2 PCI wireless adapter for a
Pentium III machine which will run OBSD 3.7 .
I note ral(4) states:
"PCI ral adapters seem to strictly require a system supporting PCI 2.2
or greater and will likely not work in systems based on older
revisions of the PCI specification."
I'm unsure how to determine what version of the PCI specification this
machine supports, and would welcome any advice. Its dmesg is as
follows:

Version 2.1
PCI 2.2 systems will say this also, it is not a means of checking.
Be aware of 3.3V cards vs. 5-volts PCI slots.
